In vivid, diary-like vignettes, we follow her as she goes in and out of Russian prisons, continually dodges police violence, protests at the Sochi Olympics, flies to Kyiv to stand in solidarity with Ukraine, defends the high-level dissident Alexi Navalny, drops banners at Trump Tower, and--in 2022--flees from Russia in disguise to escape a new prison sentence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpanning settings from Moscow to London to New York to Harvard\u003ci\u003e, Political Girl\u003c\/i\u003e has an artistic sensibility, a punk ethos, a deep moral clarity, and an inimitably dry Russian wit. It portrays not only Masha's political activities but also her personal arc: the friends she makes in prison, the woman she falls in love with, her bond with her young son Filip, and her deep passion for art and history. As Trump attempts to bring Putin-style authoritarianism to the U.S., Masha's message to Americans is one of solidarity and hope.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaria (Masha) Alyokhina is a political activist, artist and member of the Pussy Riot collective.
